We came for the first time for New Year's Eve prix fixe menu dinner. The pico tinto was nice enough, and the beer menu could use some developing. The server was so lovely, but she could have been more prepared to answer questions about the menu. Amuse bouche was a masa dumpling/cake of sorts. The word that came to mind for it was "grounding." First course was tasty, and the salad was the star. It was light and refreshing and flavorful. The pozole was the most chicken forward pozole I've ever had, which I really liked, but I don't go gaga over pozole in general. I could have used a little more salsa verde and tartness. Course two was pleasant and yummy. The salmon was good quality in the citrus brightened it up. The mushroom sopecito was very tasty, with a slightly smoky char flavor to the black bean puree. The mushrooms had a nice brightness to them, though they could have had a little more developed umami flavor. Course Three hit a home run. The beef short rib had such a deep beefy flavor, and melted in your mouth. My partner said he felt transported! The plantain mash brightened it up, as did the slight touch of pickled onion. The mole of the duck confit was different and delightful, with a touch of blackberry! The skin was not crispy as I expected it would be, but it melted in your mouth and set off brain fireworks, as did the roasted carrots, which also had a wonderful hint of char to them. We enjoyed both desserts, which were quite different from each other. I'm not sure the aloe chunks added anything to the prickly pear sorbet, but I like aloe all the same :) The corn pudding cake was so different, and I loved the smashed bits and caramel that accompanied it. We requested new spoons, and I think the service team should have anticipated that for the dessert course. The espresso martini was perfect. Overall, we loved this meal and can't wait to come back to experience the regular menu! Thank you!
